I am never free of you, I'm standing on my Isle of View, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be I can't ever let you go, even the way I try to so, I'm happy though, I'm happy though, so happy though Even if we aren't so right, as what I think we are tonight, I won't be sad, I'll still be glad, for what we had Isle of view, Isle of view, Isle of view, my Isle of view Bliss
What's life, without a little bit of romance what's life, without a tiny bit of risk who knows, what's coming right around the corner you might be somewhere very close to bliss What's life, without a thimble full of spice what's life, without a warm, embracing kiss lay back and float along her lovely current you might be somewhere very close to bliss It's easy for me, there's no question you see cuz I'm ready to fall into love, surrender your fears, let your qualms disappear and the heavens will open above What's life, without angelic intervention what's life, without a trip through abyss hang on, you never know what's gonna happen you might be somewhere very close to bliss What's life, without some broken hearts behind you, what's life, without some stormy memories, relax and look towards the happy future you might be somewhere very close to bliss Find it in our hearts I've been keeping it, to myself, in oh, so many ways feeling one thing and saying something else not quite meeting you halfway Isn't this what we talked about, baby, when we said we'd never live without talking it over, speaking our minds, always trying to find what's in our hearts and say how much we've got and if it gets hard to talk, we can find it I can dream I kiss your cheek to say goodnight, you pull me in, you hold me tight you whisper sweet, things in my ear words I thought that I would never hear Oh, I can dream can't I? Oh You kiss my mouth, soft and warm, my heart is pounding a thunder storm, don't want this moment to ever end my long-lost, new-found friend Oh, I can dream, can't I? Oh So many secrets, I'm gonna say out loud, now that I find myself in this pink cloud, am I ready for you, are you ready for me? if this is real, then let it be I've been in love with you for such a long time, from a distance, you were not mine, now you are saying all these things to me could it be that you are finally free We move so close and then so far away, the psychic says we'll be together by May, am I ready for you, are you ready for me if this is real, then let it be Lies I tell myself Maybe I was weak at the time maybe you just didn't know angel eyes beckoning into mine and I fell like a child into your world And all those times, I saw you lookin' my way then I dropped my glove I hardly knew that it was happening to me honey, how could I tell you, I was in love? And tonight, I save myself, for you no one else you dream of me, now we're apart, you hold me gently in your heart that's a little lie, I tell myself All I wanted was to get close to you all you wanted was to play I'd take everything that you would give and before you could hurt me, I'd run away And tonight I save myself, for you no one else why can't real life be like the stories I was read at night that's a little lie, I tell myself Sometimes I just stand there and gaze at the picture on my mantle You whisper words in my ear, words I've hungered long to hear, that's a little lie, I tell myself, all those lies, I tell myself I thought you made it I thought you made it on your own you made me leave my only home drinkin' myself half blind, hopin' you'd change your mind and now I find out that you haven't made it on your own I thought you made it on your own, without me I spent a lifetime on the phone, askin' please tryin' to ease my pain, wonderin' who to blame and now I find out that you haven't made it on your own You'll have no more calls from me in the middle of the night I'm feeling better now, I don't need your sympathy I thought you made it on your own and now I find out, you're all alone you gave me such a fright, from what I heard tonight I'm very sad to hear you haven't made it on your own Another Waltz It's another waltz, just what the world needs, another waltz find my sparkling red slippers once more go and charge up that ball gown visit my favorite salon It's another waltz, just what I need now, another waltz Watch me closely now, follow my lead with the greatest care hold me gently round my waist, stroke my calico hair In the ballroom we glide as, thoughts of love whirl inside us, turn me round, make me dizzy, take my breath away It's another part in time, one two three four five six seven eight nine another part in time It's another dance, not having quite left the last one hearts are running behind us, they're soon to catch up, fill my name with your dance card I'll put your name at the top sound the trumpets, prepare the feast, share with everyone It's another waltz, just what the world needs, another waltz don't forget your starched shirt and your black silk tie It's another waltz, just what the world needs, another waltz one two three, four five six, seven eight nine Not this time Sorry for what I said, didn't know what I was sayin' another one goes on the list, soon I'll be paying guess it just came out, without a compromise I might as well just shout it out, tell you more lies Why can't we just laugh it off and say never mind cuz I can't take it back, no no, not this time Guess it's just not wise, to say just what I'm thinkin' but no matter how hard I try, feels like we're sinkin' Why can't we just laugh it off and say nevermind cuz I can't take it back, no no,not this time not this time, no no, not this time Mr. Moon
Oh Mr. Moon, oh Mr. Moon, you light up my lagoon but alas I'm alone you see the boy I wanna croon, is as far away as you Oh Mr. Moon, how do you really do? so quiet, yet you say so much and I'm always alone, me and the phone and the boy I wanna touch, he might as well be you I wanna rest my head against his shoulder, I wanna hold his body close to mine If he could only see you the way I see you he'd know that every thing's alright Oh Mr. Moon, Mr. Moon, tell all the stars up there I wish upon them too and do your best, your very best, send that boy to me soon
